It’s a shame this plugin is no longer maintained, or seems not to be.
However, I have installed it on WP 4.0.1 and it does work, for me at least.
But my use-case may be unusual, as I only need to allow a single email address to be used by multiple members, and they are a small group that don’t actually have a ‘real’ email address. So I give them all a common dummy address.
The only fault is that the list of multiple accounts includes everyone. It see,s to regard 1 email address as “multiple!!
But to be on the safe side, I shall leave it deactivated, and just activate it when I need to use it. I can get away from that because the multiple emails will only ever be set by me in admin.
I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 with Multisite and running about 140 websites. I want visitors on all sites give the ability to create a account with the same e-mail address without getting a error on the Woocommerce checkout that a address already exists.
I saw a note in the plugin about this. I’ve tested it with a few activated accounts but it’s not working.

@starflow : Not sure if you saw, but v3.0 of the plugin was recently released. If you are still interested and/or using the plugin, please check it out as it should be compatible through WordPress 4.1. Let me know how it goes!

@kiwi3685 : See the note above for starflow, but the plugin should work better now (even though you hadn’t experienced any issues).
I did take into your account your suggestion about the list of multiple accounts listing all accounts. Now it only lists email addresses that are associated with multiple accounts. Thanks for the suggestion!

@mennobouma : I only did some preliminary testing with Multisite in the plugin’s v3.0 release. I plan to do more and include any fixes in the next release. Have you tested it separate from Woocommerce? That is, have you tested direct user registration and trying to re-use an existing email address? I just want to see if maybe Woocommerce is enforcing the uniqueness of emails itself (I haven’t looked at their code closely in this regard to know.)
Hi Scott,
Thanks for your support.
I bought a product in Shop A and tried to create a new account at /wp-signup.php on Shop B and then i get this notice:
That email address has already been used. Please check your inbox for an activation email. It will become available in a couple of days if you do nothing.
I’m sure the email address is already activated. If you buy a product in a Woocommerce shop you don’t have to activate your account.
It’s been 4 months since I posted here, so I had practically giving up on this plugin and this post. But yes, I did notice last week sometime it was updated. Thanks for updating!
